Hello my lovelies.

It's been a little while since our last meet and I am running out of ideas. Remember also, that anyone can call for a meet, not just me. :D I am thinking that Saturday, 9th March might be a good day.

I have attached a poll as to what type of meet we would all like so please put in your vote and post any ideas you might have. Once we find out the type of meet then we can decide where and when. If we do a portrait shoot it might involve a small amount of money if we decide to hire a model.

HAVE A THINK SYDNEYSIDERS - LETS GET CREATIVE! :)

Bummer!! I can't go on 9th March as I will be at a Nippers Carnival which is a three day event at Patonga....we are camping!:eek: I would have been more than happy to contribute toward a model if I were able to go.

I voted portrait for next meet but I meant next meet I could go to!!!LOL:lol:

No worries Karen. If there isn't much of a response then March 9 may not be a goer. I may be able to move it the 16th. Just keep an eye on the thread and see what pans out. :)

Hi there, great thought to organise a meet. I can't do either 9th nor 16th. march is a busy month as both my mum and Ben have their birthdays on the same date (14th and possible party on 16th) and this year my in-laws are moving (9th) so i'm no good for either. Sorry, I am not having much luck with meets lately :-(
can't wait to see your images though !!

Could do either date as long as they are afternoon/evening meets.

Hello everyone,
would love to meet more APers and join you guys for a shoot one of these days. I'm happy to go along with the consensus re: theme.
Free on both days at the moment but only after 3pm.

Hi Nellie, I am in. I would need to check my diary re suitable dates but possibly later March is better as it will give a few weeks notice after sorting out what to do and where. If you want sunrise - better too as late pre-end of daylight saving gives better timing. Maybe a cityscape sunrise.

Cheers

Peter

WOULD SATURDAY, 30TH MARCH (Easter Saturday) BE A BETTER DATE FOR EVERYONE?

We'll take you out for a birthday dinner Ness before /after the meet! :D

The 30th is now a better day for me as my hubby informed me that he had planned for us to go away for the weekend on 9th or the 16th before it starts getting too cold at the South Coast beaches.

Hi there, 30th is in the diary now. Looking forward to it and seeing you all :tog:

OK - Looks like the 30TH MARCH is a better date so lets lock that in. So far it looks like an evening meet in the city for a sunset and night shoot. :)

Darey

Sounds good to me.

Hey, come on you Sydney togs come along to the shoot and have some fun shooting and sharing some tips. We want to see some new faces.
We have a great mix of talent in the group and we all learn from each other.

Hi.

I shall try to come also.

If you are looking for a venue, may I suggest Rodd Park.
Near Drumoyne/Five dock.

It would be nice for water/boat(ish) and skyline pictures.

It is also close to that bridge.... near Birken Head.

Thanks Mr Felix - will keep the venue in mind when we finally decide where we will hold the meet. We have another month yet to make up our minds.:confused013

I think this is a great idea. I can't make it at the moment as I am taking things easy at the moment. I would DEFINITELY be up for a zoo trip at the end of the year - I have a guest pass for someone else to get free entry in, plus cheaper parking, but I'm out for awhile. Hope you enjoy your outing!!

hi Guys Have a great night on the 30th! As I said before I can't come on that date so will have to wait until the next one!:):):)

I am very new to AP but keen to be involved. Unfortunately I can't make 30th though. Look forward to future dates.

You would be most welcomed Bulley61 - we are a very friendly bunch and we all learn from each other. There are a few of us that live in the Kellyville/Castle Hill area and we often car pool to our meets - always good to have another driver on board. :)
We usually average one meet a month/2 x months so keep an eye on this forum for future meets. Pity you can't make this one.

I would also like to join in!
It would be nice to put some Faces to the name :)!

Hey Everyone.........It looks like I can make it on the 30th after all!!:)
Hubby now has to fly to Denmark for work that week so I will be celebrating my wedding anniversary alone:(.....I may as well come along and join in the festivities!!:tog:

NikonNellie
08-03-2013, 11:21pm
Good news Karen - we'll celebrate it with you!
It looks like it is going to be an evening shoot of City Lights but I have yet to think of where we should go, so if anybody has suggestions please post them here very soon.
So far we have suggestions of:
Darling Harbour, The Rocks, Mrs Macquarie's Chair, Kirribili Point.

I am thinking maybe Darling Harbour might be interesting and we could meet and have dinner beforehand within the area. :confused013

Having dinner somewhere beforehand is very appealing to me as !:)

Sounds good. Did you know there is a hoopla festival on at Darling Harbour that weekend?

I didn't know that Pete......so do you think we should give the area a miss if thee is going to be big crowds?

09-03-2013, 6:38pm
We've been down there on a previous Hoopla festival weekend. Yes it's busy but so are most Darling harbour weekends. Definitely events taking place which could be photographed. May need to book somewhere to eat that's all or have a picnic :-) with bubbles as there's lots to celebrate ;)

Darey
09-03-2013, 6:57pm
If we go to Darling Harbour I will probably park at the Cinema Center Car Park.
Just let me know where and when to meet you.
Karen, we will have to try and do a nice anniversary portrait for you.

So it is 30 March, in the city - maybe Darling harbour.

That is all I can resolve so far.

I shall keep my ear to the ground and await more details.

Looking forward to it.
